TRAGEDY IN CHICAGO.
A Millionaire Shot while Coming out OF
Church.
CHICAGO, Oct. i6.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.
Stephen w. Rawson, President Union
Trust CO., of Chicago, agray haired million
sire, was shot today in the tnrong at the door
of the Congregational church, by his step son
William Lee, aged H. Rswson had been
charged by his wife with perjury and other
offenses. He alleges that she, although
prominent in society and beautiful woman,
was disreputable, blaspheming, devilish,
high tempered adventures who coveted only
his money. For year or more they had
been fighting each other in divorce courts.
Within week RawsoD has filed additional
charge, OF adultery. Soon after the mur-
der Mrs Rawson cried, al am glad Of it.,
he deserved it." Waiting just long enough
10 catch her breath she added, "what was it
done for?" "Because Rawson made me out
on the streetas a public prostitute. III stand
by the boy" raising her arm with dramatic
gesture, che did no more than any boy
would do, he Is the son of his mother" Then
she began pacing to and fro over the floor,
II intended to do it myself" she exclaimed
suddenly stopping in the middle Of the room.
Rswson's wound ia probably fatal Young
man arrested. He evidently feared lynching.

Cromwell, although not sufficiently so as to
be positive Identification. Estes went home,
and visited Mrs. Barron and offered for the
sum of S., 900 to convict the murierers or
would net charge anything for his services.
His offer was not accepted however. and
Estes followed the case no further.
The Journal man learning the facts started
from the city to hunt Mr.. Estes up. Arriving
at Burnhsm he took team and drove TO
East Troy where Estes is living. The re-
porter was lucky, finding Mr.. Estes at home.
Mr. Estes had just returned from the village
and had heard from Mr.. r. Z. Stone, the
first selectmsn of Troy that the robbers who
murdered Barron had at last been spprehend-
ed. Said Mr., Estes al can tell you the name
of one of the robbers, His name 10 Stain"
This was admitted to be the fact much to the
surprise of the bystsnders. Mr.. Estes produced
the photographs and related the circumstan-
stances OF their possession which are as
above. The Journal man could not see the
resemblance which he thought was necessary
although there were some points which in one
were strangely familiar when compared to
the visage of Stain ss the Journal man re-
membered him. The other looked something
like Cromwell and would as Estes said be
a good likeness of the man at younger age.
Mr. E.tes was of the opinion that the off,
GERS had the right men and that they were
the same persons whom he had traced.
Mr.. Estes further said, "a few months
ago put into the hands of my lawyer &C.
count books which contained the descriptions
and notes taken by me when ferretted the
parties out just after the crime WAS commit
ted. 1t has struck me that my lawyer must
have made use Of my books which / did
did not intend he should; that is, he may
have allowed some one to peruse those notes
and from them this whole business may have
started. The more think of /, the more
am convinced that this must be the case
for the result has been The arrest of the
very parties which claimed were guilty.

MERELY A RUMOR.
The story of the Attempted Nrecking of
the Presidents Train Denied.
CHICAGO, Oct. Is.


A News special from Memphis, Tenn,
saws that when the pilot train preceding the
Presidential train arrived at the trestle be-
tween Bannerville and Jonesboro, Ark, Fri
day morning, the engineer discovered the
trestle to be on fire.
1t was found that section about 10 feet
square was in flames and that the fire had
been started on the under part of the timbers.
The trestle was still safe for the passage of
trains but had the trains been ten minutes
later. however, there might have been an
other Chatsworth horror to chronicle. The
burned timbers gave unmistaksble evidence
of an attempt at train wrecking.
NASHVILLE, Oct. 16.
The story telegraphed from Memphis to
the Chicago News about the attempted wreck
ing of the Presidents train by burning the
trestle, is laughed at by the correspondents
who have been with the President during the
trip. They say nothing of the kind occurred
at any time.

Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1887-02-19

The late snow storm has been the heaviest
that has been known in this section Of the
country for the past twenty years. At this
place the snow was from IL to "a inches
deep. At the Mound House about two feet
fell, and in Silver City it averaged about IS
inches. Sutro also received her share, and
in Mason Valley the snow was from 10 inches
to foot and half deep. 1t is unusual that
snow stays on the ground so long here, but
for the past week the sleighing has been ex.
cellent, and everybody who could scare up
rig has been enjoying 1t. The snowfall in
the mountains has been large, and it has
packed SO that it will stay some time, there.
fore ranchers may be sure Of plenty of water
this coming Summer, and the mill men, too,
will have cause to rejoice.
